The “Do It All” Book Marketing Syndrome Most authors are making the mistake of doing everything that they read in one post or the other online on ways to market and promote books, and I called this the “Do It All” syndrome. To give you the picture of what I did back then that made me a culprit of the “Do It Al” syndrome, let me give you a brief example of what I wasted time doing that got me little or no results at all. Once, I spent almost six month on Twitter as an active member growing my Twitter following to almost 1500 with the hope that it would help me as an author, but later, I learned that I was only wasting my time doing so because Twitter is one of the social media networks authors shouldn't spend much time on - the noise is just too much over there to really get any traction marketing and promoting books. With the other stuff, like trying to write top reviewer and many other things like that, I will say all that stuff isn't scalable and just another waste of time because I’ve done all those, and I got nothing out of that. I was such a naïve and clueless author, and later, but I am ready and willing to learn. Let the truth be said, most of what most authors will do whenever book marketing props up are just mere wastes of time and energy. Some of these include spending countless hours on Twitter, , buying reviews, and soliciting reviews from Amazon top reviewers, review exchange (this took lots of my time when I was new on Goodreads and with no result to show for it), and many more methods like that. But most of the time, all of these are purely waste of time and energy. So, what should you be doing instead of all these? You will find some amazing answers to this question in this new guide – The 80/20 Guide To Book Marketing by Mayowa O Ajisafe
